previous finding by a court or on or before July 1,

reason to believe that a canine or canine crossbreed within the
county is a dangerous dog or vicious dog shall apply to a
magistrate serving the county for the issuance of a summons
requiring the owner or custodian, if known, to appear before the
general district court at a specified time. The summons shall
9
advise the owner of the nature of the proceeding and the matters at
issue. If a law enforcement officer successfully makes an
application for the issuance of a summons, he shall contact the
local animal control officer and inform him of the location of the
dog and the relevant facts pertaining to his belief that the dog is
dangerous or vicious. The animal control officer shall confine the
animal until such time as evidence shall be heard and a verdict

discretion, may also order the owner to pay all reasonable
expenses incurred in caring and providing for such dangerous
dog from the time the animal is taken into custody until such
time as the animal is disposed of or returned to the owner.

by law for misdemeanors. Trial by jury shall be as provided in

dog or vicious dog solely because it is a particular breed, nor is the
ownership of a particular breed of canine or canine crossbreed
prohibited. No animal shall be found to be a dangerous dog or
vicious dog if the threat, injury or damage was sustained by a
person who was:

occupied by the animal's owner or custodian;

office, in addition to other fees that may be authorized by law. The
treasurer's office shall also provide the owner with a uniformly
designed tag that identifies the animal as a dangerous dog. The
owner shall affix the tag to the animal's collar and ensure that the

same manner as the initial certificate was obtained. The animal
control officer shall post registration information on the Virginia
Dangerous Dog Registry.

thousand dollars ($100,000.00), that covers animal bites. The owner may
obtain and maintain a bond in surety, in lieu of liability insurance, to the value
of at least one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00).
(g) While on the property of its owner, an animal found to be a
dangerous dog shall be confined indoors or in a securely enclosed
and locked structure of sufficient height and design to prevent its
escape or direct contact with or entry by minors, adults, or other
animals. While so confined within the structure, the animal
shall be provided for according to Va. Code Section 3.2-6503.
The structure shall be designed to provide the animal with shelter
from the elements of nature. When off its owner's property, an
animal found to be a dangerous dog shall be kept on a leash and
muzzled in such a manner as not to cause injury to the animal or
interfere with the animal's vision or respiration, but so as to
prevent it from biting a person or another animal.

promptly notified of:
(1) The names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all owners;
(2) All of the means necessary to locate the owner and the dog

(10) days of relocating, provide written notice to the animal control department
of the old address from which the animal has moved and the new address to
which the animal has been moved.
(j) Any owner or custodian of a canine or canine crossbreed or other
animal is guilty of a:
(1) Class 2 misdemeanor, if the canine or canine crossbreed

section, when such declaration arose out of a separate and
distinct incident, attacks and injures or kills a cat or dog
that is a companion animal belonging to another person;
(2) Class 1 misdemeanor if the canine or canine crossbreed
previously declared a dangerous dog pursuant to this
section, when such declaration arose out of a separate and
distinct incident, bites a human being or attacks a human
being causing bodily injury; or
(3) Class 6 felony, if any owner or custodian whose willful act or
omission in the care, control, or containment of a canine,
canine crossbreed, or other animal is so gross, wanton, and
culpable as to show a reckless disregard for human life, and
is the proximate cause of such dog or other animal attacking
and causing serious bodily injury to any person. Such
13
conduct shall be charged under section 3.2-6540(J)(3) of the
Code of Virginia.
The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to any animal that, at the time
of the acts complained of, was responding to pain or injury, or was protecting

duties at the time of the attack.

Section 3.2-6562 or (ii) grant the owner up to 45 days to comply with the requirements of this section, during which

discretion of the local health director.
